Episode Overview
In this episode of Token for Your Thoughts, host Lindsey McConaghy chats with Eneko Knorr, Cofounder and CEO of Stabolut, about building a fully crypto-backed, yield-generating stablecoin that doesn’t rely on banks.
Eneko shares how USB is pushing stablecoins closer to crypto’s original values - censorship resistance, decentralization, and access.
They cover:
• Why a stablecoin shouldn’t depend on banks
• How USB pegs to the dollar using crypto assets and derivatives
• What “yield-bearing” stablecoins really offer, and why JPMorgan says they could dominate the market
• Why transparency isn’t just a buzzword, but core to adoption
• The big opportunity in remittances, remote work, and cross-border payments
• Lessons from launching multiple startups, and why product alone isn’t enough
If you’re building in DeFi or just watching the rise of crypto-native finance, this one's for you.
